Part 1では受講者に対する簡単な質問が多いですが、たとえYes/Noや単語一つで答えられるものでも、できるだけ情報を付け加えるようにしましょう。
例えば Q: How many people are in your family? に対して、 A: Four だけで答えることもできますが、A: There are four in my family, which is about average in Japan. と加えることでより良い回答となります。
オンライン英会話マイチューターでは効果的な練習として「A + E 」練習法を取り入れています。これは答えるべき情報と返答を「A」(Answer)として、それに関連情報{E}(Extension)を1つ付け加える練習法です。関連情報は2つでも構いません。
例えば Is it difficult to play the piano ?
「難しいかどうか」にまず答えて、その後、さらに短い情報を加えると返答に面白味が出ます。
【A】 Yes it is.
【+ E 】 It took me two years to learn but I enjoyed my lessons.
“ Yes, it is “が質問に対する直接の答えである「A」。”It took me two years to learn but I enjoyed my lesson.” が「+ E 」の追加部分にあたります。
答えを追加するのに、連結語のand, because, butを使うこともできます。例えば、
Yes, it is because you have to look at the music notes and play at the same time.
(はい。それというのも、楽譜を見ながら同時に弾かなければばらないからです)
といった具合です。

A good vocabulary and content are important for the speaking exam. Adopt good presentation skills such as eye-contact, pauses, speaking not too fast or slow. Read up and visualize a few possible questions. Make your answers exciting and passionate. The IELTS examiner expects you to show ‘some awareness of style and collocation’ to reach a Band 7 or Band 8.
Compare the sentences – which is better?
Smoking is bad for your health.
Smoking has a major impact on your health.
Acid rain is bad for buildings.
Acid rain does enormous harm to buildings.
Team games make children’s social skills better.
Team games lead to an improvement in children’s social skills.
Living in a city is better than living in a rural area.
Living in a city has many advantages over living in a rural area.
Imported films and music are bad for local traditions.
Imported films and music have a negative effect on local traditions.
The sentences on the right are better because they show style because they have academic tone, and collocation because you are using the correct verb, adjective and preposition with the noun.
Remember that possessing a good stock of words is important, even more so than the writing exam where you have the luxury of review and edit. However, fluency takes precedence over vocabulary, and if you feel you have forgotten the words, it is better to display a level of fluency with simple terms you know rather than struggle with numerous pauses while searching for the perfect word.
